This weekend, America lost two formidable entertainers. A huge amount of loss in such a short period of time. One moved us through song, the other through comedy. Each of them had a difficult ascent to the top but thankfully their brilliance kept propelling them forward. Isaac Hayes and Bernie Mac are legends in their own right and we were fortunate to be completely and thoroughly entertained by them.
It is always a shame when those who we admire are taken before their time, Hayes was 65 yrs old and Mac was only 50. Maybe the man upstairs couldn't wait any longer to have them in his permanent collection. Nevertheless, they left a final farewell for all of us. Both Hayes and Mac will be in the upcoming movie Soul Men to be released in November 2008; a parting gift of sorts, I will be looking forward to it.
